bensaf  Fish Master Posts: 1978 Kudos: 1315 Registered: 08-Apr-2004  | curvicep, Very nice tank. A great example of how a low light tank can be done.Those Java Ferns look super healthy and a really nice layout. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. |

| Dr. Bonke Moderator Posts: 367 Kudos: 215 Votes: 36 Registered: 15-Apr-2004  | Alex, it is some kind of Myriophyllum, but I'm not quite sure which one, it could be Myriophyllum simulans or Myriophyllum pinnatum, or maybe even another species. It grows very fast, 1 - 2 cm (about an inch) each day. |

| Alex Fish Addict 510 Posts: 721 Registered: 03-Oct-2004  | bonke next to the big sword that your angels laid eggs on is it microphyllium (spelling) or something else if it is something else can you tell me what it is |

| Dr. Bonke Moderator Posts: 367 Kudos: 215 Votes: 36 Registered: 15-Apr-2004 | smantzer: thanks and yes that's sunset hygro there on the right side of the tank.Keith: thank you, the tank has been doing fairly well the past few months. I still want to get pressurized CO2, hopefully in a couple of months and then maybe another lamp to keep the background plants in place (they tend to grow forward a little as the fixture is about 4 - 5 inches from the back of the tank. dude_dude: this is a 65 gallon (or there abouts) tank, 4 feet wide, 22" high and 18" deep |

keithgh   *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003  | Dr. Bonke Your tank certainly a well healthy planted tank. curvicep For some reason I could not look at your tank photo. Acidrain Bernard is correct that tank won it some time ago. I do not like posting it too often as it looks like I am braging. I would prefer a tagged thread where past winners tanks are placed for all to see or others can be refered to this thread. Just an idea.

| bensaf Fish Master Posts: 1978 Kudos: 1315 Registered: 08-Apr-2004 | Acidrain, My tank won the last aquascaping contest. Although it's changed a bit since then I'd thought it would be the gentlemanly thing to step aside from this quarters contest. As it's changed so much I'll probably enter in the next. I know Keith's tank has also won in the past so he may have similar reasons for not entering. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. |

| curvicep Fingerling Posts: 46 Kudos: 43 Votes: 0 Registered: 01-Feb-2005 | Keith, love your tank, well planted but super low maintenance and built for the long run! My tank is very similar. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/vf1a/tankfull1a.jpg Last edited by curvicep at 20-Feb-2005 10:33 Last edited by curvicep at 20-Feb-2005 15:37 |

| highjinx Hobbyist Posts: 108 Kudos: 96 Votes: 2 Registered: 16-Jul-2004 | I enjoy seeing other people fish tanks and how they are setup. Could everyone post a picture of their tank or a pic of their favorite tank setup? Thanks Dustin |

| Dr. Bonke Moderator Posts: 367 Kudos: 215 Votes: 36 Registered: 15-Apr-2004 | AlexI don't have a close-up shot at the moment, and I can't take one since the lights are off already. It is one of my three Yoyo loaches that I got to take care of the trumpet snail population, which was growing quite out of proportion. Maybe I'll get a close up tomorrow |

| Dr. Bonke Moderator Posts: 367 Kudos: 215 Votes: 36 Registered: 15-Apr-2004 | Here's my tank as of one hour ago, I did some serious weeding today as everything had grown way out of bounds again. It'll look best in a couple of days, but I couldn't wait with putting up this photo  [/font] |
